Often the cause of death from prolonged gaming sessions is a pulmonary embolism. Sitting for hours gaming, blood clots form in the legs. Then when standing up the clot mobilizes and moves to the lungs where it clogs and stops blood flow. Combined with acidic sodas that make the blood thicker (helps clots form) and often gamers have a substandard diet with an abundance of poor quality highly processed fats that thicken artery walls. Not saying for sure that happened here but a P.E. is likely.

Ditto on the Amiga being years ahead of everyone else for the 2nd half of the 80's. What a ride! Designed by the same team more or less that developed the Atari 8bit which was also years ahead of everyone else. Speaking of which check this out.

Jan 27th eh? First I've heard of the release date, unless I forgot. I've been very interested as the gameplay vids made it look like an improvement over DI, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would.

This always bugs me. Yes, these consoles can't touch the performance of a gaming PC. But using the PS4 as an example, you do realize that Sony needs to put together hardware and sell it for $400 and still make a profit? What mistake did they make in the design? What should they have done instead that could still match that price point?

Historically it's a blunder. All consoles prior were near top pc spec or beyond pc spec at release. These were released middle road pc's. I get your point, but at the same time, this gen was different from the past. We are not really moving all that forward because of it.

This. Sony doesn't need to make a profit on the PS4 units from day 1. Initially they sold PS3's at a loss iirc. Same with x360. I think they took example from the Wii this time around and decided that gimmicks were more important than hardware capacity.

So the PS4 got a touch screen on the gamepad as its gimmick and the xbone got a creepy spycam motion sensor. Meanwhile the previous notion that putting out a console with bleeding edge performance took a back seat this time. Thankfully they did bump the RAM which was a huge and costly bottleneck for developers last generation.

They're going to do it anyway and when you protest they'll gas you, shoot you with rubber bullets and then hold you in prison as a 'rioter'. They'll use your protest or lack of compliance against you in the public arena of controlled media propaganda and their own courts.

They are far more willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want and they have the means to do it. Fear, violence and psychological warfare are amongst their weapons against us and they will use them.

It seems to be an improvement over LoG1 and true to the roots of the genre. Doesn't feel like a console game in the slightest. Has outdoor areas and if you beat it day one, you click a button to get a free pizza delivered to your house.

This is another weird sentiment. nin said it about me yesterday."Someone has a different opinion than I do, they must be trying to get attention!"

Well FWIW Beamer I don't get that vibe from your posts here. We love you man! (man?)

“This finding is the kind of science that is literally going to make geologists rewrite the textbooks about the moon,”

This is common in astronomy but they word it this way to save face for the institutions involved who get a lot of public money who said very authoritative statements later found to be wrong as was their hypothesis that the moon has been geologically dead on the surface for a billion+ years.

Well BL2 is awesome so if it's a lot like that, great! I've seen screenshots of this and it looks just fine as far as fidelity on PC. That said $60 is above my limit. I still haven't played any of the DLC for BL2 even.

Yes well said C. The Blame Game is a high priority in Government. Taking responsibility is not. Narcissists can't understand the adverse consequences of their actions and don't want to take responsibility for them.

Yeah adding much story to a game like this is a bad idea. It's a focused dungeon crawler game, not Skyrim or Witcher 3. Adding story to this sort of game is like adding story and a campaign to a Battlefield game. There are games that can be ruined by anything more than a simple story and this is one of them.

I agree with the notion that complicated and involved puzzles can be off putting. A puzzle needs to be fun, firstly. Fun can mean complicated if it's done right. But a poorly executed complicated puzzle can be a game killer too.

$25 is certainly the upper end of what the market will bear in the US, I believe.

Actually I think the way we drive cars is terrible since it's so 20th century. Using an actual wheel and pedals while sitting down? Why can't we just sit on the roof and face backwards while wearing an occulus rift in a bikini? So the question to ask here is the occulus wearing a bikini or do we? Either way that would be better because it would be new!
